Banksy is a mysterious and provocative British street artist whose true identity remains unknown. He rose to prominence in the 1990s with his distinctive stencil-based artworks, often infused with sharp social and political commentary. His pieces, which appear in public spaces, tackle themes such as consumerism, war, inequality, and government control. While his works are rooted in street culture, many have been sold for high prices in the art market. Banksy has redefined street art, turning it into a powerful form of visual activism.
